** GORGEOUS NEW LG 4K MONITOR - LG 27GN950-B PRE-ORDER NOW **

I paid £ 758 ex VAT for my Dell 30" U3014 7 years ago. It displays a nice 2560*1600 desktop resolution but has none of the latest technology.
I run 4K 28inch here with 300% scaling in windows 10, not really seen too many issues with websites or software but you do get it usually not an issue you can set zoom in browsers or a 2nd browser like chrome to display it if your other main browser fails. Don't game either.
I prefer large fonts, icons and large text and low brightness/contrast or nightlight mode it reduces headaches, eye aches, tiredness etc
Searched YouTube on 4k size issues and this was the first one I found...

Probably tons of others dealing with the same thing.

I have been using a 4k monitor for 5 years plus and at first it was a bit if a issue but since Windows 10 added the screen scailing option to the display settings page its no longer a issue

@NikTheSHNIK any ideas when stock will be in? i ordered last night
I wouldn’t mind an update to, preordered on the 10th September. Last I heard medium-ish stock landing in October.

Thanks @NikTheSHNIK
Cant wait will be nice to finally go from 5-6 years of 4k 60hz to 144hz especially as graphics cards finally seem to make that viable now
Shame my 3080 prob wont be here till after the monitor and I sold my 1080ti to help fund these upgrades
My back up gtx 660 just keeps it so I can surf the web and watch shows for the meanwhile

Spent most of last night watching reviews for this monitor and seems like a awesome bit of kit (even if they have removed the 160hz oc mode from what it seems, 144hz is plenty enough anyway) just sold my corsair LS100 kit to a buddy because I don't need it no more as this has ambient backlighting built in

From what I understand it just a update issue that will be fixed
Agreed. 27" is just too small for 4K, and once you have experienced 32", you can't go smaller.
Such monitors are coming, but not until Q1 2021.
I really wouldn't hold out much hope for any IPS monitor to improve on contrast though. Will always be inherent to the tech. VA does a better job, but at the expense of very noticeable gamma shift and other issues.
There’s always the ASUS PG43UQ https://www.asus.com/Monitors/ROG-Swift-PG43UQ/
43” 4K 144hz only thing is that it’s £ 1295.99 that’s £ 547 more than the LG 27GN950-B
The 43" monitors have a host of issues. I've tried two and really didn't get on with them. For productivity, forget it. VA is terrible in this regard. And when it comes to gaming, blacks are nice, but the ghosting and smearing is evident. Some people seem more sensitive than others to this though.
